What is a gigapoise used for?

Gigapoise is used to measure very large dynamic viscosities, such as in heavily cured polymers, bitumen, or for geological creep studies.

Why convert from gigapoise to attopoise?

Because it allows comparing and quantifying viscosity across extremely large and extremely small scales found in diverse scientific research areas.

Can I use this conversion for everyday viscosity measurements?

No, this conversion is mostly relevant for specialized scientific research rather than everyday applications.
